There are five out comes with the probabilities as given:

P(O_1)=0.10, P(O_2)=0.20, P(O_3)=0.30, P(O_4)=0.25

We need to figure out P(O_5)=?

As we know that the sum of all the probabilities should be 1 therefore, we will add the probabilities of all the events and will try to find P(O_5).

P(O_1)+P(O_2)+P(O_3)+P(O_4)+P(O_5)=1

Putting the values of all the probabilities, we get:

0.10+0.20+0.30+0.25+P(O_5)=1

Solving for P(O_5)

0.85+P(O_5)=1

P(O_5)=1-(0.85)=0.15

Therefore, P(O_5)=0.15.
